In this article, we examine the presentation of Durkheim’s work in popular English-language Canadian sociology textbooks. We show that textbooks present two distinct “Durkheims.” First, they characterize him as a founder of the discipline and the sociological project of challenging common-sense explanations of social life. Second, Durkheim appears as the father of structural functionalism who advocates a conservative, integrating vision of society. We argue that to understand why these two versions of Durkheim persist in sociology textbooks, we must appreciate the symbolic place of classical authors in the discipline. The two “textbook Durkheims” endure because they operate as symbols for both the coherence and divisions of the discipline. We suggest that integrating contemporary Durkheimian scholarship into textbooks would require revising conventional textbook approaches of sorting classical authors as founders of contending sociological perspectives.2018-03-31T17:05:32-06:00Copyright (c) 2018 Canadian Journal of Sociologyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/cjs/index.php/CJS/article/view/29301Measles, Moral Regulation and the Social Construction of Risk: Media Narratives of “Anti-Vaxxers” and the 2015 Disneyland Outbreak2018-03-31T17:05:34-06:00Gabriela Capurrogabriela.capurro@carleton.caJosh Greenbergjoshua.greenberg@carleton.caEve Dubéeve.dube@inspq.qc.caMichelle Driedgermichelle.driedger@umanitoba.caThis paper examines media coverage of the 2014-15 measles outbreak that began at Disneyland and spread throughout the United States and into Canada and Mexico. Specifically, it focuses on the construction of ‘anti-vaxxers’ as a central character in the outbreak’s unfolding narrative who came to represent a threat to public health and moral order. Although parents who hold strong anti-vaccine views are small in number, media representations of ‘anti-vaxxers’ as prominent figures fail to capture the broad range of views and behaviours that constitute what we today call ‘vaccine hesitancy’ and thus delimit our understanding of this increasingly complex health issue.2018-03-31T17:05:34-06:00Copyright (c) 2018 Canadian Journal of Sociologyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/cjs/index.php/CJS/article/view/27058“Common Sense Geography” and the Elected Official: Technical Evidence and Conceptions of ‘Trust’ in Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway Decision2018-03-31T17:05:35-06:00Patrick G. Watsonwatsonp@mcmaster.caIn fields such as Sociology and Political Science, there have been, over the course of three decades, attempts to engage elected officials in “Evidence-Based Decision-Making”. Evidence is generally conceived as “expert” advice provided to politicians. A question that has gained more centrality in recent years is “why do elected officials not trust expert opinion or technical evidence?” and the answer to this question has been sought in historical or general terms (e.g. Irwin 2006; Weiss et al. 2008; Kraft et al. 2015). Here I will propose an alternative question: “when politicians exhibit a lack of trust in expert advice, how is such skepticism publicly accounted for?” I will examine this question by utilizing a case study ethnographic approach to the City of Toronto’s controversial decision to endorse the Hybrid alternative for the Gardiner expressway. By doing so, I intend to show that knowledge controversies are not inherently a form of deficiency on the part of the elected official – that they are ignorant to the implications of evidence – but rather the standard by which elected officials and appointed experts review and understand evidence can lead to very different (although both reasonably ‘correct’) conclusions.2018-03-31T17:05:35-06:00Copyright (c) 2018 Canadian Journal of Sociologyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/cjs/index.php/CJS/article/view/29435Salganik, Matthew J., Bit by Bit: Social Research in the Digital Age2018-03-31T17:05:35-06:00Tatsiana Amosavatamos034@uottawa.ca2018-03-31T17:05:35-06:00Copyright (c) 2018 Canadian Journal of Sociologyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/cjs/index.php/CJS/article/view/29436Schippers, Mimi, Beyond Monogamy.
